Chapter 3. Installing the Undercloud
The first step to creating your Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform environment is to install the director on the Undercloud system. This involves a few prerequisite steps to enable the necessary subscriptions and repositories.
3.1. Creating a Director Installation User
The director installation process requires a non-root user to execute commands. Use the following commands to create the user named
stack and set a password:
[root@director ~]# useradd stack [root@director ~]# passwd stack # specify a password
Disable password requirements for this user when using
sudo:
[root@director ~]# echo "stack ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:ALL" | tee -a /etc/sudoers.d/stack [root@director ~]# chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/stack
Switch to the new
stack user:
[root@director ~]# su - stack [stack@director ~]$
Continue the director installation as the
stack user.
